To believe that 27 countries need us more than we need them, knowing that Germany alone has a larger GDP and that their combined GDP is 5 times ours, one must believe that Brits are inherently better than other people.

As predicted, I'm already seeing "but we buy more from them than they buy from us." Here's the answer to the trade deficit argument.

I'm going to keep arguing like this and I'm not sorry.
I will point out that immigration culturally, economically and medically enriches our society. But I won't convince everyone in 4 months. So for those who only see it as a negative, I'll point out the EU's safeguards on that.

There are those whose principles prevent them from taking a two-pronged approach and I respect that (even if one such person did call me "disgraceful" for my approach today) but for me I have one priority: Preventing something which would in fact do FAR more harm to EU citizens.

I was sat there on @BBCPolitics#PoliticsLive surrounded by politicians all treating Free Movement as a big problem completely unchallenged until I set them all straight. As I've done with Farage, and repeatedly across news and social media.

The economic benefit of the EU comes from making rules & trade policy together so trade within the EU is cheaper and so we have more negotiating leverage in global trade.
Keeping those benefits outside the EU just means we're no longer making the rules, just following them.#Marr

If we don't follow those rules, that makes continental trade more expensive FOR US. Even businesses who don't export: They and their staff all rely on EU products being as cheap as possible.
Who voted to give EU-based companies an advantage over British ones?#Marr

Now, once we've admitted that we're putting ourselves at a competitive disadvantage on our own continent, the only question is:
Can trade with the rest of the world replace trade lost closer to home?#Marr Sorry, your browser doesn't support embedded videos

Good morning Tweeps. Up since 5 am. Felt the urge to go do some work. Actually went downstairs and almost stepped into my office then forced myself to return to bed even if to just lie in bed. Trying to resist this overworking.

The other day I felt really exhausted, then of course decided to do more work and...I swear, I felt better after a couple of hours, this is when it really hit me, the overstimulation is getting out of hand.

I really can’t wait for December where I hope this lifestyle is coming to an end & I can return to *normal* functionning before I do myself some damage.

More women die from complications giving birth in the U.S. than in any other developed country. Black mothers are 3 to 4 times more likely to die than white mothers – a rate not tied to income level or education, but race alone. That’s why I’m introducing the MOMS Act. Thread:

While other developed nations’ maternal mortality rates drastically decline, ours is on the rise. In fact, we are 1 of just 8 countries in the entire world with increasing rates of maternal mortality. Our nation is in crisis.

Mothers are dying every day – and for each one who dies, another 70 nearly do. 60% of pregnancy-related deaths are from preventable complications like hemorrhage, preeclampsia and sepsis. We're failing women and babies.

Two weeks ago, I tweeted about writing the hardest & most important thing I've ever written. Here it is. It might not have been the topic you expected. But this is a national security story & it has flown under the radar for too long. A few things:

I didn’t want to write this article. But then, I didn’t want to be a position of having to always fight for the rights of officers with disabilities at the CIA either. To be clear, the CIA put me in that position of having to speak out, even after I left. (2)

I simply wanted to be able to do my job and have equal access to opportunities, and for others to have the same. And I was damn good at my job. I loved doing it. I believed in what I was doing there & my work made our country a little bit safer. (3)

One would think having your feelings returned would make your raging crush easier to deal with, but no. No, for Jimin, being courted only makes everything worse, what with him being rendered even more of a mess when Yoongi brings him gifts.

“To our newest brother, our newest omega.” The clan elder stands from his seat, cup raised over his head. “After all these years,” he calls out, eyes glittering in the light of the fires, “we finally welcome him as part of the clan. To Jimin!”
